To deal with the important stuff first, that coat Michael Laudrup was wearing.
Some quibbled that it was a little shapeless, others a bit too brown and
“country” for the big stage of a Wembley final. But let’s be real — Laudrup
could wear a sack and most of the country would admire the tailoring.

Not since José Mourinho stood on an English touchline has there been such
swooning over an overseas manager. Laudrup love has been growing and
yesterday, at Wembley, it went nationwide and unchecked.
